a journalistic quality." (The International Spectator, 2010)

‘America and a Changed World speaks compellingly to
the necessity of an intelligent American foreign policy more
attuned to the realities of the twenty-first century.’
– Zbigniew Brzezinski, Professor of American foreign
policy, School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins
University and former National Security Advisor to President Jimmy
Carter

‘At a time of great uncertainty about the future of US
global leadership, America and a Changed World offers a
series of timely and important insights into the scale of the
challenge facing the Obama administration. As such, the book will
serve as a very valuable reference point for students of US foreign
policy and policy practitioners alike.’ – Joschka
Fischer, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany

‘This wide-ranging collection of probing essays from
Chatham House explores the daunting obstacles to the reassertion of
American leadership in a changed world. The provisional answers it
suggests are as sobering as they are persuasive.’ –
Timothy Garton Ash, Professor of European Studies, University of
Oxford, and Isaiah Berlin Professorial Fellow, St Antony's College,
Oxford

‘American leadership of the global order is unavoidable.
No other power can step into its shoes, yet. Yet while the world
cries out for American leadership, it also cries out for smarter
and more sophisticated leadership of a more complex world. This
book could not be more timely. It provides wise counsel where it is
needed most.’ – Kishore Mahbubani, Dean, Lee Kuan
Yew School of Public Policy, National University of
Singapore
